Building a Master Comment List (
) and
Using the Virtual Keyboard
Before you create a new file and collect data points, you
should first build your first
Master Comment List. This is a
list of observations that can be attached to specific data
points. The following are step-by-step instructions that you
can use to create a Master Comment List, along with
sample “comments” that you may find useful in your own list.
Step 1: To access the Master Comment List, press
and hold the button down for three seconds. The display will
look like the one shown in Figure 3-7, except that it will
contain none of the comments shown. Note the SELECT
selection at the bottom of the display.
